Credo Quia Absurdum
The podcast that analyzes and interprets texts (and other pieces of media) from contemporary times and antiquity. Siblings Cat and Anna Jane love stories and love finding the absurdity in them (whether or not that absurdity was intended). Whether beautiful and poignant, creepy and atmospheric, utterly ridiculous, or some combination of the above, we delve deep into what some of our favorite works mean to us.

Episode 7
Today we're trying something new, and discussing a movie that shaped our childhood, even though it was an utter box office flop. It's Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, which came out in 2003 under DreamWorks Animation, and it's a swashbuckling romp across the ocean, complete with a sneaky, slinky goddess, a wise-cracking pirate thief, way too much innuendo for a children's movie, and--Avast ye! Is that some queer subtext on the horizon?
